They put up a stat that we are 0-6 against ACC. Apparently we never beat Wake Forest or Maryland in early 2000s.

Cinci over Miami 49-14
Mizzou 34-24 over CMU
Auburn over Akron 60-10 (At least the Zips scored.)
'Cuse over OU 29-9
GaTech now has tied NIU 14-14 mid Q4. An NIU player got taken off the field in an ambulance. Didn't see the play, so not sure what happened. Hope he is ok.
Kent was hanging tough with Texas A&M for much of the game, but starting to slip now, 20-3 A&M

NIU beats GA Tech! Holy schnikes…

How bad is the MAC this year?

NIU scored 43 but still lost to Wyoming, 50-43
Ohio lost to FCS Duquesne, 28-26
Akron now getting blown out by Temple 38-17 - a Temple team that lost to Rutgers 61-14 last week.
BG is actually leading South Alabama 11-6
Ball State getting handled easily by Penn St 31-6
Nebraska leading Buffalo 14-3. Nebraska had lost to Illinois, who got demolished today by Virginia, so...
CMU beat RMU as expected 45-0
WMU leading Illinois St early 7-0

BG loses to South Alabama 22-19 on a late FG
Ball State loses to PSU 44-13
Buffalo loses to Nebraska 28-3

If UT had to lose to ND, at least BG and OSU both lost too, so there's that.

Ohio loses to Duquesne…lmfao

Florida St, which ND barely beat, lost to Jacksonville St.
Mercer scrored more against Alabama than did Miami.

I think there's been an out-of-sight, out-of-mind talent rise in the lower divisiion. They might be having the same advantage as UT, regards age and experience of players?

Wyoming: North-Central US football in general competing with the big-boys more and more. Maybe not a surprise this game.
Ohio off the wheels
Rutgers might be VERY good. They were putting it togther last year I think?
I liked the Loeffler hire and said so when it was done. They lost same way we did against ND and ND might not be any better than S. Alabmaa, given what happend to FSU yesterday.

I really though Buffs would beat Nebraska. But otherwise, jury still out on MAC.

Colorado St lost to Vandy @ home, 24-21. Vandy was beaten soundly by FCS East Tennessee St the previous week.

That takes a huge hit on our SOS, sheesh why does CSU have to be so terrible the year they come to the Glass Bowl? At least they're FBS, so there's that. We need to blow them out.

Any chance Toledo gets some Top 25 votes this week?

Not likely, too early in the season. Need to keep ND winning and Rockets need to run the rest of the schedule. Bet Coan is sore this morning.

Florida State losing to Jacksonville State didn’t do Notre Dame any favors, either…

Wyoming has a very senior laden team. I looked up their depth chart and their entire starting OL was seniors and one junior. Most of their defense was seniors and juniors as well. NIU still very young football team.

The MAC has been unimpressive so far. NIU has the conference's lone FBS win and almost had the conferences 2nd FBS win. Toledo could have had one there as well.
